CANADIAN INDUSTRY ONLINE - FEBRUARY / MARCH 2012
On June 3, 2010, the Govern-
ment of Canada announced
Canada’s National Shipbuilding
Procurement Strategy. Under the
strategy,
For large ship construction,
Canada will establish a strategic
relationship with two Canadian
shipyards, selected through an
open
and
fair
national
competition, and designate them
as sources of supply, one for
combat vessels and the other for
non-combat vessels.
For smaller ship construction,
Canada will set aside the
individual projects for competi-
tive procurements amongst
Canadian shipyards other than
the shipyards selected to build
the large ships and their
aff iliated companies.
For ship repair, ref it and
maintenance, these require-
ments will be competed through
publicly announced request for
proposals
The selection of the two
shipyards to rebuild the f leets of
the Royal Canadian Navy and
Canadian Coast Guard repre-
sents the largest procurement in
Canadian history. On October
19, 2011, the National Shipbuild-
ing
Procurement
Strategy
Secretariat announced the re-
sults of a Request for Proposals
to build large vessels for Canada.
